The seven by nine corporations that

The state taxes are paid, and Gov. Ross
is not half fool enough to order his mill

If some OF San AntOniO's One-horse crit

Got her Il bottle of CUTICURA REsOLyENT, and
she took il, and has taken IN all about six or
seven bottles, and now she is a well woman
to-day. Her leg is entirely healed, and her
health was never better. She can 20 out every
day, something she has not done in ten years,

THE mills Of the gods grind slow but
but they do grind exceedingly small.
They are grinding the democratic ma
jorities in the border states down so fine
that there is a grave danger of several
OF these states being found on the repub-
lioan side Of the fence in the next presi-
Dental campaign. When old Virginia
comes down to 426 democratic major
ity in q state election as far as counted,
and no better figures can be produced
save by the threadbare methods of esti-
mates, 1t looks very much as though the
deities which preside over the destinies
Of this republic had been getting in
some very profitable grinding of late.
There appears to be great hope for the
triumph Of national principles in the
result Of the recent elections. New
York is the only state in which the re-
turns are not prominently satisfactory
to republicans. 1t may be sls6, that the
